    Disk Install issues fix.

    So I've seen this come up a couple times with friends already, and then I encountered it.

    If youre installing from a disk and getting errors , something along the lines of "failure to read install file" I found a fix that worked for me.

    Copy/pasta'd

    I noticed a few people posting this so here is a quick "How To" on resolving this problem.

    Please Note:

    If you have added your CD key and started downloading any of the files, Right click the game (Both MP&Sp) and click "Delete Local Content".

    Also Please ensure that your steam is open and you are logged in.

    1. Open Command Prompt (Start>Run>Type CMD)
    2. Browse to your Steam Directory, By default this is C:/Program Files/Steam/. Do this by typing "CD C:/Program Files/Steam/"
    3. Type "steam.exe -install E:". E Is my CD drive letter, Please change this according to your drive letter. The game should then install.

    If the game simply validates you have not deleted your local content.

    Tips:

    If your steam install is on a separate Hard Drive/Partition simply type the letter to follow by ":" and press enter, then follow from step 2.

    Eg:

    Your CMD Says:
    C:\Users\Master Of Puppets>

    You then type your drive letter so it would look like:

    C:\Users\Master Of Puppets>D:

    It then changes to D:\>

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers, Mooka91.
    IF you encounter other errors and have a fix post em here and I will include on the sticky.
